My storage card is called Storage Card 2 now why ?

Hi,
Suddenly i restarted my phone and it created a new Storage Card on the device as a folder. My storage card has now been recalled storage card 2 ? Why would that happen and how to fix it please ? Its annoying cos none of my shortcuts work now as the file path has changed so I'd like it back the normal way.
Thank you

This happened to me. Its actually a quick fix: just remove the memory card, then delete the folder titled "Storage Card" (given there is nothing in that folder, if so, back it up first and put it on the actual memory card), then re-insert the memory card and it should come up as "Storage Card" now.

I think a soft reset works too. happened to me once and I believe thats what I did.

It's happened to me several times.
Don't know why but a delete of the Storage folder and a restart fixed it.
Don't delete the wrong folder ..... check it is empty.

This could happen if you have tweaked your registry settings to store your IE cache in storage card or if some application is using storage card to store application data (for example an RSS reader). When the phone restarts and it is not able to locate the storage card due to some reason (for example timing issues in code), the phone will create a folder by name "Storage Card" in main memory if any application tries to write to storage card. Later when you reinsert your card, it will be named as "Storage Card 2", as there is a folder already by name "Storage Card"
If you dont want to lose any data, instead of deleting, you can just rename "Storage Card" folder created in the main memory.
BTW, I faced the same pblm yesterday. Very annoying when it happens often. I never faced this with my magician.

i had the exact same prob, didnt know why. and it was because i did use the reg tools to tweak that IE cache is stored on stroage card. i did wat u said, just deleted the folder and reinserted the card, also changed the reg key's back cos i cant b arsed with that on every soft reset!

storage card name changed

all of a sudden my "storage card" became "storage card2" and all of my apps on the storage card became unavailable.
how can I revert it back to "storage card" ?

You haven't created any folders / directories called storage card by any chance?
Mike

I found the problem. a directory named "storage card" was created in my root directory.
now I deleted it and the problem is gone.

thank you. that was the exact problem, only I didn't create it but my "card export" created.

OK - good that it's solved
Mike

This will happen if you remove the SD card and some application still thinks its there. It will create a folder "storage card" for writing files and the next time your SD card is there it will get the next free name, e.g. "storage card2".
One application that does that: Pocket Internet Explorer with registry tweak to use the storage card. So if you use that tweak make sure there is always a SD card inserted. Or close PIE and disable the tweak - before removing the card.

Storage Card appears as StoregeCard2

Hello,
yesterday i encounterd a rather starnge problem with my prohet.
My SD Card suddenly appears as Storage Card2 in the PDA, so none of the programs that are installed on it can be run right now.
the data is all still there and also i discovers a folder named "Storage Card" in my Device no matter if the SD card is inserted or not.
inside is a temp folder
inside there a Cache,Cookies and a History folder
in each of those is one file that appears to be connectet to the internet explorer
namely Content.IE5 in cache
index.dat in Cookies
History.IE5 in History
i tryed to delete the complete Storage Card folder with total commander but it faild telling me 3 files could not be deletet.
when the device is connected to the pc via active sync i can see the same folders but when i try to delete them i get an error that they can not be deletet cose of insufficient right, or they could be in use, or not enough space on the disc. or write protection
how can i get rid of those files and get my SD card back as "Storage Card" instead of "Storage Card2"?

Basically, the "Storage Card" folder would have been created when IE was used but the storage card was not installed. The easy option would be to Hard Reset, however it may be possible to close IE and then remove the storage card folder. After this you'll need to soft reset.

I had the same issue several times when I'm using a miniSD on my himalaya with a adopter. But a soft reset was always enough for me...

the starnge thing is that the sd card is more or less permanentliy inserted in the prophet, i usually just remove it to copy something on it from the pc, and in that time i dont use the pda.
since i have installed opera mini, i dont use IE at all, cant recall when i started that program the last time.
allerady tryed a soft reset and to delete the folders afterwards, but rigth from the start the files are "locked"
and i really want to avoide a hardreset. took me allmost 2 weeks to get the device fine tuned as it is right now, and actually in the 20 months i have this device now its the first time it is running without any problems since about 3 months. before that i allwas needed to make a hardreset every few weeks.

Maybe opera mini is using the same cache as PIE?
I think, it may be possible to change the registry settings for IE cache and storage and then reset and remove the files. I'll check up the registry settings for that...

just delete it
did you change your internet cache to the sd card?
when reset your ppc there wasn't a card inside the sd slot it will prompt the ppc to create an alternative folder for the internet cache.
simply insert the sd card into the slot, soft reset, and when it goes back to windows delete the 'storage card' folder created in your ppc (retaining the storagecard2) , remove the sd, and reinsert it back.
the ppc will now recognize your sd as the 'real storage card'
hope this will work for u...

That won't work as the cache will store into the "Storage Card" folder, adn not "storage Card".
Had a thought! Try renaming the "storage card" folder to storage card2, insert the SD card and then soft reset. then, try and delete the folder that isn't your storage card...

Storage Card / Storage Card2? Problem...

I have come across this problem recently and I think it was caused by me disconnecting AS before the sync was complete.
I have a 16gb SD card in my THD which used to be called 'Storage Card' in Total Commander. Following the incident, the card has now been renamed 'Storage Card2' by the system and shows as a small external drive in the file settings. 'Storage Card' exists in aswell in Total Commander and Windows Explorer (when linked through AS) but there is only one card when connected as a USB device.
HTC Album recognises 'Storage Card' but it has all the maps etc for TomTom but I cannot get it to see 'Storage Card2' where the photos are.
I cannot rename it, using Windows Explorer or TC.
The only way I resolved the issue previously was to do a hard-reset which I don't obviously want to do.
So...has anyone come across this before and how did you solve it?
Thanks

I encountered similar problem, not with blackstone though. I used my LG KS20 back then.
I suspected the cause is: the phone cannot detect sd card while some program tries to write to 'Storage Card'. Therefore this program just create a new folder. And since there is a folder named 'Storage Card' already, when the phone detects the sd card, it is named as 'Storage Card2'.
For my case, I noted that the 'Storage Card' folder might be created by one of the software i used, galarm. For your case, some program might have created the folder when you connect the phone to pc as external usb drive.
How I solved it: I deleted 'Storage Card' (but make sure that there is no data that i need inside the directory). Take out and put back in my sd card.
It should work for you too.

Worked a treat, thanks.
Can now show my girlfriend what the THD is like compared to her iPhone with the Album software

Plug the SD-card to your PC, copy the data inside the folder "Sorage Card2" into the same folder under your "Storage Card" and delete the folder "Storage Card2".
That´s all

storage card 2

Hi all
I used sktools to move and store my e-mails in storage card. on each start up, hd2 renames my storage card as "storage card 2" and creates a folder named "storage card" on device. I can rename or erase it but I can not do this on every start up.
Is this because my storage card is slow?
Any advice please?

mine used to do this also, i got bored of removing the sotrage card 2 folder so just left it, annoying being there but doesnt cause me any probs, everythiung still goes onto the actual SD card. prob has stopped now since doing a hard re set a few days back, so not sure what causes it. if i get again ill prob just ignore.

but doesn't it rename existing storage card as #2 and create "storage card" on device. then the e-mails will be still kept on the device.

yeah it does rename the actual storage card as storage card 2. never tried to get emails etc saved onto it though so not sure about that.

I am going to guess that either at one time, you removed your storage card while the phone was on, or you had issues with your storage card ...
You should find a file in your device memory named "Storage Card" rename it to something like "Storage Card3" and Reset your device as soon as you rename it ...
then it should be back to normal, when you restart, then you should be able to remove "Storage Card3" ...
Hope it helps

it is about sktools. on each reset sktools creates a new storage card and also renames real storage card as storage card2.
I am able to rename them to normal. but I can not do it each time. I am looking for a way to avoid sktools doing this.

this is not SKTools create folder.
In your startup loaded poutlook.exe. But this time OS has not yet been initialized your card. So messaging program cannot find path and will create folder Storage Card. After this OS end initializing card, but name "Storage Card" already used and OS will set for card name "Storage Card2". This is common problem.
Try delete poutlook.exe and tmail.exe from startup.
If this not help - wait new ROM update. Maybe they fix it ( i not believe).

Thanks for the comments.
Any other program to let outlook write the email bodies and attachments to Storage card?
